    Putin offers compelling and generous terms:

    Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday demanded Ukraine effectively surrender to Moscow if it wants to open peace talks, drawing anger and rebukes from Kyiv and the West.

    In a combative speech in Moscow on the eve of a major Ukraine peace summit in Switzerland, Putin said Russia would halt its offensive only if Ukraine fully withdraws its troops from the east and south and drops its bid for NATO membership.

    https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2024/06/14/putin-says-ukraine-must-withdraw-troops-to-start-peace-talks-a85413

    I am confident that Putin is just emulating Trump and spitballing riffs that happen to pop into his mind.

    Elbows up!

        Something like that. Most Christian of Putin to be so magnanimous about it.

                    Pavel was the governor of the Tambov oblast. I’m told that he was friends with Leo Tolstoy. However, I don’t know anything beyond that.

                                But of course not, Putin supports the plight of the Palestinians in their struggle against US global hegemony, Zionist imperialism and Ukrainian Nazis.

                                          Poland considers downing Russian missiles over Western Ukraine:

                                          Even discussing this option is enough to make Putin roll over in bed for nights on end. Let him squirm. He’s already lost the war and the peace anyhow..
